99 Dodge 2500 cummins vs Stock 2002 F250 Power Stroke

Who will win a 99 Dodge 2500 Auto cummins crew cab on 33's with 4'' MBRP exhaust and Air Raid intake vs Stock 2002 Ford F250 Auto Power Stroke 4 door on 35s? Im assuming I would get stomped?

He who has the higher winch wins. Other than that, he who then has a greater weight:traction: power ratio wins.

Are we drag racing, or tug-o-war?

If you're pulling, I assume the Ford will win. Only because it's probably taller with the 35's. I assume the Dodge is stock height with only 33's.

The taller truck is going to try to lift up the rear of the short truck, unloading your rear, and frying your tires.

Do what you can to equalize your tow point heights.

Yea I would have to say he will win. I have driven hundreds of powerstrokes while I worked at a dealership and stock, they are just a bit quicker. When my truck was bone stock a friend of mine with a f-350 on 35's with only a hypertech PP, and a six speed would hold dead even with me, only reason was because he had a stick...Now its quite a different story...

Tires make a BIG difference. I'm gonna say it's a close call, but the dodge *should* win. What the 6.ohno's come with in 02?

It's a 2002 so it has the 7.3 not the 6.0

When I had my 02, I raced my uncles 98 24v and I beat him but not by much though.
